[0040] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0041] In order to further improve the linearity of a gallium nitride high electron mobility transistor device, the present disclosure provides a semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof, wherein the semiconductor structure comprises a substrate, a nucleation layer, a buffer layer and a heterojunction structure layer stacked in sequence; the nucleation layer comprises a first nucleation layer and a second nucleation layer, wherein the first nucleation layer is a plurality of strip structures, and a strip groove is provided between two adjacent strip structures, and the extension direction of the strip groove is parallel to the plane where the substrate is located, and the second nucleation layer covers the strip groove and the first nucleation layer, and the ion permeability of the second nucleation layer is higher than that of the first nucleation layer. The present disclosure designs a first nucleation layer and a second nucleation layer with different ion permeability, and silicon ions in the substrate diffuse into the buffer layer through the second nucleation layer, so that the buffer layer forms a first buffer layer and a second buffer layer with different silicon concentrations. Along the channel width direction, the doping concentration of the buffer layer changes, and the influence on the concentration of the two-dimensional electron gas changes, so that different threshold voltages can be formed in the channel layer at different positions, thereby improving the linearity of the device.
[0042] Combine the following Figures 1 to 17 A semiconductor structure and a manufacturing method thereof mentioned in the present disclosure are further illustrated by way of example.
[0043] Figure 1 Shown is a schematic structural diagram of a semiconductor structure provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 2 Shown Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the semiconductor structure AA' section. Figure 2 As shown, the semiconductor structure includes a substrate 10, a nucleation layer 20, a buffer layer 30 and a heterojunction structure layer 40 which are stacked in sequence; the nucleation layer 20 includes a first nucleation layer 21 and a second nucleation layer 22, the first nucleation layer 21 is a plurality of strip structures, and a strip groove 201 is between two adjacent strip structures, and the extension direction of the strip groove 201 is parallel to the plane where the substrate 10 is located, and the second nucleation layer 22 covers the strip groove 201 and the first nucleation layer 21, and the ion permeability of the second nucleation layer 22 is higher than the ion permeability of the first nucleation layer 21. The buffer layer 30 includes a first buffer layer 31 and a second buffer layer 32, the first buffer layer 31 corresponds to the first nucleation layer 21, and the second buffer layer 32 corresponds to the strip groove 201, and the n-type ion doping concentration of the second buffer layer 32 is higher than the n-type ion doping concentration of the first buffer layer 31. Figure 1 As shown, the semiconductor structure further includes: a source 51 and a drain 52, which are located on the heterojunction structure layer 40, and the direction in which the source 51 points to the drain 52 is parallel to the extension direction of the strip groove 201; a gate 53, which is located on the heterojunction structure layer 40 and between the source 51 and the drain 52; and a dielectric layer 54, which is located on the side of the gate 53 close to the heterojunction structure layer 40.
[0044] In this embodiment, the material of the substrate 10 includes silicon or silicon carbide. The substrate 10 contains silicon ions. Since the ion permeability of the second nucleation layer 22 is higher than that of the first nucleation layer 21, the silicon ions in the substrate 10 can pass through the second nucleation layer 22 and diffuse into the buffer layer 30. The n-type ions in the buffer layer 30 are silicon ions. The silicon-doped buffer layer 30 can release electrons. The energy level of the half-filled state formed by impurities and defects in the nucleation layer 20 can capture the electrons, thereby reducing the capture of device electrons, enhancing device performance and increasing device reliability; at the same time, the silicon-doped buffer layer 30 can supplement carriers, increase the concentration of two-dimensional electron gas, and reduce the channel on-resistance. Since the n-type ions in the buffer layer 30 diffuse from the substrate 10, the n-type ion doping concentration of the buffer layer 30 gradually decreases in the direction away from the substrate 10. The n-type ion doping concentration of the buffer layer 30 is negatively correlated with the thickness of the buffer layer 30, which avoids the high resistance of the buffer layer 30 affected by doping and reduces the possibility of leakage.
[0045] In this embodiment, the ion permeability of the second nucleation layer 22 is higher than that of the first nucleation layer 21. In one embodiment, the materials of the first nucleation layer 21 and the second nucleation layer 22 include Al a In b Ga1-a-b N, where 0≤a≤1, 0≤b≤1 and 0≤1-ab≤1. The Al component content of the second nucleation layer 22 is less than the Al component content of the first nucleation layer 21. The smaller the Al component content, the greater the In component content or the Ga component content, the larger the lattice constant of the material of the second nucleation layer 22, and the larger the lattice gap, then the silicon ions in the substrate 10 can enter the buffer layer 30 through the second nucleation layer 22, while the first nucleation layer 21 prevents the silicon ions in the substrate 10 from penetrating into the buffer layer 30. In another embodiment, the thickness of the second nucleation layer 22 is less than the thickness of the first nucleation layer 21, so as to achieve a higher ion permeability of the second nucleation layer 22 than the ion permeability of the first nucleation layer 21. The thickness of the second nucleation layer 22 is less than 100nm, which further facilitates the silicon ions in the substrate 10 to enter the buffer layer 30 through the second nucleation layer 22. The first nucleation layer 21 and the second nucleation layer 22 are designed to have different ion permeability, and the silicon ions in the substrate 10 diffuse into the buffer layer 30 through the second nucleation layer 22, so that the buffer layer 30 forms the first buffer layer 31 and the second buffer layer 32 arranged alternately along the channel width direction, and the silicon concentration of the second buffer layer 32 is greater than the silicon concentration of the first buffer layer 31. Along the channel width direction, the doping concentration of the buffer layer 30 changes, and the influence on the concentration of the two-dimensional electron gas changes, so different threshold voltages can be formed in the channel layer at different positions, thereby improving the linearity of the device.
[0046] Figure 3 to Figure 4 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor structure provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, at least two of the plurality of strip-shaped grooves 201 have different widths (a1, a2) (e.g. Figure 3 or, at least two of the plurality of strip-shaped grooves 201 have different spacing distances (b1, b2) (such as Figure 4 The width or spacing distance of the strip grooves 201 changes, that is, the width or spacing distance of the second buffer layer 32 corresponding to the strip grooves 201 changes. By changing the width or spacing distance of the strip grooves 201, the transconductance peak value of the heterojunction structure layer 40 at different positions of the subsequent growth can be changed, and the threshold voltage of the heterojunction structure layer 40 at different positions can be changed, thereby improving the linear working characteristics of the device.
[0047] Figures 5 to 7 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a semiconductor structure provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the surface of the buffer layer 30 away from the substrate 10 is a plane (eg Figure 2 In another embodiment, the buffer layer 30 is conformally disposed on the nucleation layer 20 (as shown in FIG. Figure 5), the heterojunction structure layer 40 includes a channel layer 41 and a barrier layer 42. The channel layer 41 grows from the groove of the buffer layer 30 by lateral epitaxy technology, which can greatly reduce the dislocation density in the heterojunction structure layer 40 and improve the crystal quality of the heterojunction structure layer 40, thereby improving the device's electron mobility, breakdown voltage, leakage current and other characteristics. In another embodiment, the buffer layer 30 is conformally disposed on the nucleation layer 20, and the channel layer 41 is further conformally disposed on the buffer layer 30 (as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 4 ), the two-dimensional electron gas generated at the heterojunction interface between the channel layer 41 and the barrier layer 42 is not in the same horizontal plane, forming a lateral multi-channel structure, which is conducive to realizing mutual compensation of different transconductances of the device, achieving relative stability of transconductance within a larger gate-source bias range, and is conducive to improving the breakdown voltage, improving dynamic characteristics, and further improving the linearity of the device. In other embodiments, the barrier layer 42 is further conformally disposed on the channel layer 41 (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the two-dimensional electron gas generated at the heterojunction interface between the channel layer 41 and the barrier layer 42 is not in the same horizontal plane and the gate 53 fills the groove in the barrier layer 42. In addition to further forming the effect of a lateral multi-channel structure, the gate 53 greatly improves the control ability of the carriers, thereby greatly improving the breakdown voltage of the device and reducing the leakage problem, and improving the efficiency and linearity of the device.

[0054] Step S4: growing a buffer layer on the nucleation layer including the first nucleation layer and the second nucleation layer.
[0055] Specifically, Fig.13 As shown, a buffer layer 30 is grown on the nucleation layer 20 including the first nucleation layer 21 and the second nucleation layer 22. After the buffer layer 30 is grown, the n-type ions in the substrate 10 below the strip groove 201 diffuse into the buffer layer 30 to form a second buffer layer 32 corresponding to the strip groove 201. The buffer layer 30 above the first nucleation layer 21 is the first buffer layer 31. The n-type ion doping concentration of the second buffer layer 32 is higher than the n-type ion doping concentration of the first buffer layer 31, and the n-type ions forming the second buffer layer 32 are the silicon ions in the substrate 10.
